Chapter 143: Learning from Each Other
As soon as a few people got out of the car, they were greeted by a red carpet avenue that paved up to the steps of the center gate in the distance. Both sides were crowded with fans holding up cheering signs, constantly calling the names of their idols, as well as reporters who had been waiting for a long time, holding long guns and short cannons and clicking on various stars.
This atmosphere is more warm and noisy than the Berlin He Xin has experienced before, and unlike Berlin, there is no red carpet order here, whoever arrives will leave, and the style is particularly casual.
"Yo, isn't it Brother Xiaogang and Fanzi in front!" Hu Jun couldn't help but smile when he saw the two people who were slowly moving on the red carpet at this time.
Xu Fan is his old classmate, and he is also very familiar with Feng Xiaogang, and he can recognize it just by looking at his back.
He News went to prestige, and at this time, the two people on the red carpet happened to turn around to take pictures with reporters, and saw Director Feng wearing a black tunic suit, looking very solemn, with a reserved smile on his face. And Xu Fan beside her, although she has a bright smile, her low-cut orange dress and casually draped hairstyle with small curls are unbearable to look at.
This style is too, too ......
Anyway, he couldn't describe it in words, and when he turned his head, he found that Su Jin was also looking at the other side and was secretly pouting, and the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling concerned.
"It's time for us to go, Su Jin, Ah Xin, you take the lead. Lao Guan greeted with a smile.
He Xin took the initiative to raise his arm, and Su Jin moved elegantly to pull it on, stepping on the red carpet with flashing magnesium lights.
Su Jin is 1.74 meters tall, and he also wears high heels frantically, instantly killing a lot of small short legs, and then wearing a white dress, which is fresh and refined, full of fairy spirit.
He Xin's short-inch hairstyle is also very unusual, and it is still rare for celebrities to get a flat head in these years, whether it is Andy Lau's "Liu Jianming"-style flat head or Liang Chaowei's short hair, they have all appeared on the covers of major entertainment magazines.
That's not all, he wore a navy blue Armani retro double-breasted suit, with a Windsor-collared shirt and striped tie, revealing a strong British style.
British style, in the minds of locals, is synonymous with "high-class".
So when the two appeared on the red carpet holding hands, it immediately caused a commotion, and even the local reporters who were not very interested in Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan just now couldn't help but focus their cameras on the two people on the red carpet at this time.
"Who is this?"
Most reporters and fans have a question in their minds.
"Wow, is this Lan Yu, why is he so handsome!"
Those who have watched "Lan Yu" are the first to recognize it.
"That's right, it's Lan Yu, and the woman next to him is Handong's wife Lin Jingping. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, Guan Jinpeng is behind, and there is ...... Handong"
"Please, people's names are He Xin, Brother Xin, Golden Horse Actor! Thunder Chicken Hen? Everyone and Hu Jun are all shortlisted for the Best Actor, and the woman is called Su Jin, who was also shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress. ”
Immediately, fans who especially liked the movie "Lan Yu" jumped out to popularize science with a look on their faces.
It turned out to be the combination of the actor candidate and the Best Supporting Actress finalist, and the reporters filmed more energetically, watching them go fast, and greeted one after another: "New brother, Miss Su, please slow down! Here, look here......
Not to mention the mainland reporters who are mixed in, they are very happy. No way, these two in front of me are too mysterious and low-key.
Su Jin, after the fire for a while after "Never Look Away", I don't know what this girl thinks, but at the highlight moment, she chose to retire early, went abroad to get married, and rarely showed up once.
He Xin, the first best newcomer in Berlin and the youngest Golden Horse actor, is not well-known in China because of the theme of his work, and he is usually too low-key and rarely interviewed.
In addition to these two, including Hu Jun in the back, as a mainland actor shortlisted for this year's Academy Awards, it is also an honor for mainland reporters.
The commotion of fans and reporters alarmed Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan, who had just stepped up the steps, Xu Fan looked back and saw his old classmate Hu Jun, and couldn't help laughing: "It turned out to be a soldier, and I also guided them." ”
Feng Xiaogang's gaze stayed on the guy in the flat-headed blue suit. As a director, it is necessary to maintain a certain amount of reading, especially since he has watched the two award-winning films, and of course he knows each other.
Don't look at Feng Xiaogang, who started making commercial films, but under his ugly appearance, he has always hidden a literary heart, otherwise he will not make enough money in the next life, and he will not have to work thanklessly to make "Fanghua" and "Only the Cloud Knows".
"Wait, just say hello. Feng Xiaogang pulled his daughter-in-law's arm and said.
Xu Fan glanced at him with a little surprise, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay!"
"Brother Xiaogang!
Hu Jun ran over and hugged the two warmly.
On the one hand, they are friends, and on the other hand, with Hu Jun's agent Wang Jinghua joining Huayi last year, they are now their own people.
The Feng couple are also old acquaintances with Guan Jinpeng and Daniel Zhang, and only He Xin and Su Jin are meeting for the first time.
"This is my good brother He Xin, and this is Su Jin, who was shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actress this time. Hu Jun helped to introduce.
"Director Feng, hello!"
"Hello, Mr. Xu!"
He Xin politely shook hands with the couple and greeted them.
For Feng Xiaogang, no matter how much controversy the outside world has about him, He Xin still respects him very much in his heart. Among his many thunderous words, there is a sentence "The common people are waiting to see his movies every year for the New Year!" sounds arrogant, but it is true.
"Party A and Party B", "Endless", "Big Names", "Mobile Phone", "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" and other hilarious movies, who hasn't seen it?
These films have almost become the memory of a generation.
Feng Xiaogang and his Fung comedy not only pioneered the concept of Chinese New Year films, but also, without exaggeration, the pioneers of Chinese commercial cinema.
On this basis, Feng Xiaogang is qualified to be called the three major domestic guides along with the national teacher and Kai Ye.
Of course, there are many people in later generations who claim that pants are not worthy of being compared with the previous two, and the national teacher and Kaiye have both won awards in the three major European ones.
At the same time, the pants are still halfway home, and in terms of background, they are one grade lower than the national teacher who was born in a professional class and Kaiye, who is both a professional class and a film family.
In fact, in terms of aesthetics and technology, Feng Xiaogang is indeed worse than these two, and the gap is still very large, but in terms of the storytelling of the movie, he is obviously better than the former.
Of course, if you have to divide the highs and lows, then the national teacher is undoubtedly the benchmark, otherwise he would not be called the national teacher, and he would not always be in charge of the major activities of the country.
And Kai Ye is not on par with the national teacher in terms of aesthetics and technology, and even better in terms of actor training, but he is even better at telling stories than the national teacher, and his character flaws limit his further development, and he will be eating his old book for a long time in the future.
Feng Xiaogang was originally a blackboard newspaper, and he was an artist at the best point, and he was a half-witted man in terms of aesthetics and technology, but people can tell stories, and they tell them well.
Judging from his development trajectory, from the initial comedy with a relatively low threshold, to the main dramas such as "Assembly Number", "Tangshan Earthquake", and "1942", and then to the later literary films "Pan Jinlian", "Fanghua", and "Only the Cloud Knows", it can be seen that he is still trying and improving.
However, the lack of aesthetic attainments and the lack of technology have led to the average level of his literary films, and sensationalism often becomes the main theme, which is not even as good as his early "A Sigh".
Even so, in terms of contribution to Chinese films, he surpasses Kai Ye and is second only to the national teacher.
Of course, He Xin in his previous life would not understand it so deeply, in his previous life, he liked "Party A and Party B", "See You or Leave", "Endless" This kind of hodgepodge comedy movies with sketches and jokes are gathered, and after watching it, he can enjoy it all day, which adds a lot of fun to his hard life.
Then now he has studied in Chinese opera for a few days, although he is still very happy to watch those Feng's comedies, but what he really likes is the "A Sigh" released the year before last.
Although after the release of this movie, some people criticized the relationship between the three people in the movie as an extramarital affair, a third party intervening, and an improper relationship between men and women. accusing Feng Xiaogang of exposing the ugliness but not lashing out at the ugliness violates the values of socially recognized moral standards and misguides the public's aesthetic taste.
Some sober critics pointed out that this seemingly touching film is full of the outdated concept of "pseudo-Taoism" in its bones.
But if you use the social reality that He Xin has experienced in his previous life, the story shown in this movie is particularly real, and the characters are portrayed very delicately.
It may be that the Chinese people did not have the concept of "mid-life crisis" in these years, but a few years later, with the progress of society, people are aware of the mid-life crisis, and when talking about this matter, they often add a "sigh" after the "mid-life crisis". It shows the impact of this film on later generations.
Of course, there are also shortcomings, for example, the end of the movie seems to be a little too warm, Zhang Guoli's Liang Yaya goes back to take care of his injured wife, but in the end, he should still be with Liu Bei, which is in line with reality, just like Feng Xiaogang himself in reality.
There is also Zhang Guoli who went into the ward to see Xu Fan, and Liu Bei also wanted to follow up, but was stopped by Fu Biao and said, "Why are you so shameless!"
This line also seems very abrupt, as if the initiator has suddenly become an angel of justice.
However, these are minor flaws, and there may be compromises that have to be made to cope with the scrutiny. In short, this should be a good movie.
So when He Xin and Director Feng met for the first time, he politely added: "Director Feng, I especially like your "A Sigh", it was really well filmed, very sincere, and very contemporary!"
Maybe his unintentional words just scratched Feng Xiaogang's itch, and the reserved smile on his face became brighter, grinning and revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth, and said happily: "Yo, you are really a great award! ”
He Xin immediately said with a happy face: "That's great! I can't ask for the opportunity to listen to Director Feng's teachings in person!"
As an ordinary family, the despised "Hutong Skewers" were able to mix with the noble "big courtyard disciples", and finally came to today's status step by step.
At this time, looking at the sincere smile on He Xin's face, he was suddenly startled, and then gave birth to a strong sense of sympathy, and hurriedly said: "You are too polite, let's learn from each other!"
